What a lovely 727. A jewel with wings. Dearly missed.

The 727-200 has that sleek, fast, powerful look. Love it!

By this time, where were all these 707s flying to/arriving from? Do you know if any of these still exist and fly at all? Thanks.

707 and 8 mainly African links , Accra , Kinshasa, Lagos , Mwanza , Entebbe , Kano , also Port Harcourt , Beirut and others , i guess all may be broken up by now , TMA demolished its whole fllet stored at Beirut , a swft!! operation :(

Many 707 for end of 90'

[@patrickvereecke6654]

the busiest and last bastion for 707 freighters in Europe , last Tarom and Das Air 2001 , last TMA early 2002 , final regular 707 till early 2004 ( SU-AVZ , special cowlings , rare hushkits )

Can i share this video on 707 club?

[@ebbu.planespotting1903]

Is that the 727 who stood on Ostend for a while or just a scheduled stop?

[@patrickvereecke6654]

soon after this this plane was saved , engines removed , for Ostend Air College , teaching purposes for future pilots , initially in the original DHL colors , later revised paintjob , but finally was removed and demolished ,bad decision , history repeats itself when stored 707's and 8's were broken up as well years before this

@@patrickvereecke6654 yes it’s indeed sad my dad flew on the DHL 727 as a flight engineer before changing to Virgin express but it’s nice to see some of these lost planes on your channel keep it up and lots of succes wishes from Kortrijk!
